The Tale of One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers Pasta
Story updated
This dish extends the Italian-American sausage and peppers tradition, itself rooted in early 20th-century immigrant street food, by adding pasta for a fuller one-pan meal, a common modern adaptation aimed at easy, hearty weeknight cooking.
Ingredients
Scale:· 4 servings
- 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz penne pasta, uncooked
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- 1In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into crumbles, for 5 to 6 minutes.

- 4Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has thickened into a sauce.
